- 1884-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. This delightful example is sharply struck with bountiful mint luster and vivid, fully original color. The mintage for this San Francisco Mint double eagle issue is 916,000 pieces. Similar to contemporary issues, many served in commerce, others were shipped overseas, and some were held in reserve for the redemption of Gold Certificates. David W. Akers accounted for dozens of Uncirculated examples in his 1982 double eagle treatise, and when Q. David Bowers penned his Guide Book of Double Eaglesin 2004 the estimate had grown to thousands, most of which are believed to have been repatriated to American collections from foreign bank hoards. The present example from the Fairmont holdings is attractive in all regards and would do equally well in a Choice type or date set. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 9002.
